Default New Addition

Thanks to everyone for there concern regarding my wife. She has almost completely recovered from her surgery. Tumor weighed in at 5.5 lbs and it wasn't cancer. Now time for another update. I have decided that I am going to try and add a new colony of SPS coral every 2 weeks. New additions every 2 weeks of course is based on if I am in town or not. I do travel quite a bit all around the world so it may throw a wrench in to my plans from time to time . Todays new addition came from Ocean Aquatics, thank you Wendell. Its a softball sized baby blue acro. I will post a full tank shot soon as requested.



Thanx

Sean

Default Full Tank Shots, Sort Of

I know I promised I would post a full tank shot as soon as possible but work sent me to Vancouver Island for a week so I had to delay it. Now I'm back so its time for those pics I promised. I should also mention that my Green Monti Cap took a fall off its rock and broke into about 50 pieces. I had to make two temporary frag shelfs in the tank to hold them. Try and not laugh too hard they do look a little slap stick.

Default Building a Frag Tank

So due to recent events, ie. large amount of frags I have accumilated I have decided to build a frag tank to hold everything from the main tank and to grow out frags to put in the main display tank. I had an old acrylic cube that was used as a terrarium when I used to breed snakes and lizards. It had a large crack in it so I cut it down to a 3ft x 3ft x 7in deep tank.




Plans are for a 20 gallon sump and a 14 gallon refugium. Circulation will be from a Dart pump, water will return via 8 return nozzles. Four of them having hydor rotating water deflectors. Haven't decided on a skimmer yet or calcium reactor. Lighting plans are still up in the air too. Trying to decide if I will use 2 250w hqi with 1 14000k bulb and a 20000k bulb or 1 400 watt hqi or mogel with 14000k bulbs. Any input on lighting setups would be great .

Thanx for looking

Sean
